<h2>Mishka's speed = 14 km/hr</h2><h2>Current speed = 2 km/hr</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of rowing be r and speed of current be c.

If he rows with the current, Mishka rows 48 km in 3 hours.

        Relative speed = r + c

        Distance = 48 km

        Time = 3 hours

        48 = 3 x ( r+c)

        r + c = 16 ---------------------------eqn 1

If he rows against the current, it takes 4 hours to travel the same distance.

        Relative speed = r - c

        Distance = 48 km

        Time = 4 hours

        48 = 4 x ( r - c)

        r - c = 12 ---------------------------eqn 2

eqn 1 + eqn 2

        2r = 28

          r = 14 km/hr

Substituting in eqn 1

         14 + c = 16

                c = 2 km/hr

Mishka's speed = 14 km/hr

Current speed = 2 km/hr

Find slopes , ill mark brainlist
zepelin [54]

Answer:

\frac{3}{2} or 1\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a graph and asked to find the slope.

So we can see two coordinate points, one on (0, 3) and (2, 0).

When trying to find slope, we use the method rise over run, which basically means y over x as a fraction, in which you then divide.

So count how many times it'll take for x to get to y, base it off the picture below

Since we see our numbers to be divided are 3 over 2, do the division and you get 1 1/2.

Would this be negative though? No, since the graph is in an increase, not a decrease.
